It's coming.

So the Christmas decs are up. Have been a bit more adventurous this year. Assiduous readers of this blog will understand that last Christmas I was not really in the mood to be festive. This time round it's a little easier - not all that much, but a little. And you have to think of the grandkids don't you? Last year I think they were really disappointed, so this year I've involved them in the whole process (or perhaps, more to the point, they have involved themselves) so the house is all lit up. Have to say it doesn't make it feel any the less empty though - ho hum.
